Although times has changed, there are still many stereotypes around both white and black individuals. Society has filled television shows as well as movies with content that exposes the tension and humor between the African-American and Caucasian race. Films were being made where two males of different races would develop an everlasting friendship, which was a rare occurrence in the 1900s. However nowadays, racial animosities are being shown in film for the reason that it would attracts audiences to buddy films, even though inequality is still present. For instance, in the movie “Get Hard”, Kevin Hart’s character Darnell, is an African-American man, who is struggling to expand his car washing business as well as to provide a better education and home for his daughter.

    (125) Privilege is inclined to white males through every facet of our everyday that inconspicuously creates racism through classism. While Crash holds a very touching message on a personal level of human compassion, it unfortunately is also a perfect snapshot Aude Lorde's "'mythical norm,' which each one of us within our hearts knows 'that is not me.'" (178) This is otherwise known in America as "white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, christian and financially secure," where "the trappings of power reside..." (Lorde 178) So why all the fuss about a movie? It's just a film, and some would say that it's not meant to solve the America's issues with racism and classism. While this is true, it is dangerous for such a prevalent film like Crash, which won three Academy Awards including Best Picture in 2005 in addition to a slew of other accolades, to perpetuate that elusive, intangible type of oppression that we all live in, but some still deny.

  • Film Analysis Of Jordan Peele's 'Get Out'

    971 Words  | 2 Pages

    The director plays on the physical setting of the party, to not only express the horrors of being culturally different but rather contrasts how societal colour and costume colour work together to outline modern day racism in a unique way. The director describes ‘Get Out’ as a ‘textbook for white people’, where Peele wanted to make white people not only understand but experience the way racism impacts the people around them as well as showing how black lives social situations are actually taken seriously. Peele takes this principle of racism and uses colour in the form of costuming/clothing to highlight this idea. As an audience, we recognise the party gusts dressed dissimilar to that of Chris. The use of colours like blacks, reds and whites, are worn by the guests, whereas Chris wears Blue. The directors use of clothing, is nothing less than coincidence, but really highlights how segregated Chris really is at this party, as he does not match the rest of the guests. The powerful use of colour by the director, is the start of the prejudice which Chris is now drawn upon. Not only is Chris visually a subject of segregation, but as the party developments, Chris who is revealed to the audience as a sympathetic, quiet and developed character is verbally discriminated by nasty comments. Peels applies current social fears in the eyes of micro-aggressions, to explore white people’s anxieties in a community of colour. The narration of the party guests validates Peele’s ideas of “no matter what race we are, we are all one animal”. This is done using microaggressions; innocuous comments or gestures, used to target minorities as a way of dismissing or degrading
